Abstract: A polymer dispersed liquid crystal display device (10) includes opposing substrates (11, 12) having transparent electrodes (13, 14) formed on opposing surfaces thereof, and a composite film arranged between the substrates (11, 12) and having an arrangement obtained by dispersing a liquid crystal in a polymer. The composite film includes a phase-separation polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer (15) constituted by a composite film consisting of a liquid crystal and a polymer, and liquid crystal capsules (18) which are dispersed in the phase separation polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer (15) and in which a liquid crystal (20) is sealed. Each of the liquid crystal capsules (18) has an outer diameter equal to a gap between the substrate (11, 12) and functions as a spacer for regulating the gap between the substrate. Liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal capsules (18), like liquid crystal molecules in the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer (15), are aligned in accordance with a voltage applied across the opposing electrodes to transmit or scatter incident light.

IPC: B41J19/14

Abstract: Images are printed by marks formed in pixel arrays by a scanning print head. During each scan marks are made in a pattern that approximates at least portions of many parallel, separated lines -- angled steeply (best at about 3:1 slope, or at least much greater than 1:1) to the scanning axis and shallowly to the print-medium advance. Areas are left unprinted between the angled lines during one or more earlier scans for each image segment, and filled in during one or more later scans. Preferably the marks are made with liquid ink, and the medium heated to hasten drying. Heating causes an end-of-page paper-shrink defect that accentuates positional error components parallel to the print-medium advance; but the lines at a shallow angle to that advance tend to minimize those components -- so the heating and steeply angled lines together promote high throughput while hiding the end-of-page defects. In practice the mark-forming includes placing marks only at pixels where marks are desired for a given image: the angled lines are incomplete where marks are not desired. The angled lines are at a steepest angle possible within design architecture of the scanning print head and print-medium-advance mechanism -- or the steepest such angle consistent with a roughly equal number of marks per pen scan (for desired images in which all pixels are to be marked) and avoidance of other types of defects. The most highly preferred pattern uses corner-to-corner diagonals in a cell three pixels wide and eight tall; this pattern is rotated to obtain two variants, all put down in three passes. For transparent and glossy media, drying is enhanced by a multipass (preferably six-pass) print mode in which the three maximum-diagonal variants are repeated to provide double density, with half the advance distance.

Abstract: A clock generator system for producing a number of multiple frequency digital clock signals for distribution to a number of synchronous, clocked devices, include two separate, substantially identically structured clock generator units that operate in lock-step unison. The digital clock signal outputs of one of the generator units is distributed to the synchronous, clocked devices and to a error detection circuit, that also receives the digital clock signals from other clock generator unite for comparison with one another. In the event an error is detected, the error detection circuit will produce an error signal to halt operation of the system with which the clock generator system is used, and reset the clock generator.

Abstract: A nearly pure neon is described along with a method of operating the lamp. A phosphor is coated on the lamp wall. By properly stimulating the neon, ultraviolet light may be emitted, that can stimulate the phosphor to a first light emission. The lamp may then be operated to produce a visible light emission that is the result of neon emission or of intermediate combinations of the neon and phosphor emissions. A single neon lamp may then produce in one instance, an amber color, or in other instance, a red color without the cold environment problems typical of a mercury based lamp. The output efficiency is enhanced when the lamp is formed as an aperture lamp. The narrow source is also useful as a source in reflector and lens systems. High pressure neon lamps offer a small source size, direct color with no filtering, good tolerance of impact and jarring, moderate cost, and increased vehicle styling potential.

Abstract: The method of manufacture provides a security tag. The preferably aluminium surfaces of a capacitor of an oscillating circuit are arranged on the front and back of a substrate layer of the tag, formed as a dielectric. By locally pressing the two capacitor surfaces together using a preferably heated tappet and a current flux, the material of the dielectric is locally saturated and the two capacitor surfaces in this region are fused together point-wise. Then this conductive connection is broken by an electric discharge resulting in an air gap and the capacitor surfaces relax. With each tag prepared in this way, a short circuit is generated in the air gap by a suitable current/voltage source, to renew the conductive connection between the capacitor surfaces. This connection is then broken again to form two directly opposing electrodes. The tag is provided to the customer ready for deactivation by fusing the electrodes by an induced current.

Abstract: To provide a bearing structure of a flat type brushless motor for floppy disk drive in which a stator is arranged in a plane shape and a disk acting as a rotor yoke rotates along the plane shape without the use of conventional ball bearings so that the bearing structure can be high in the rigidity, stable in the motion, and low in the cost. 
     For having a maximun bearing length, the bearing structure comprises a support shaft arranged with its axis extending depthwisely of the motor and having two journal regions provided on both ends thereof and a recessed region thereof between the two journal regions; and a rotor shaft mounted in the center of the disk and having a cylindrical body thereof onto which the journal regions of the support shaft are rotatably fitted. Accordingly, the motor will minimize the friction loss of the sleeve bearing and increase its operational life. Also, the steadiness (of deflection, inclination, and rigidity) in bearing action will be enhanced. The support shaft is embedded at its lowermost end in the base plate which is a mounting base of the motor so that its vertical orientation with relation to the base plate is maintained With much ease, thus contributing to the physical accuracy of the bearing structure. The bearing structure according to the present invention employs non of the high-priced ball beatings of any conventional structure and will minimize the cost of the flat type brushless motor.
